PURPOSEThe Alexandria Retired Teachers Association promotes the economic, social, and professional status of ACPS retirees. We encourage ARTA members to maintain interest and participation in educational, legislative, and community activities, as well as to foster good fellowship among retirees. We sponsor monthly programs that will be of interest to members and will inform them about current issues at the local, state, and national levels. ARTA works in cooperation with the EAA, VEA, NEA, VRTA, and AARP.

ARTA has a Facebook page! "Like" ARTA to be linked to the ARTA Facebook page. On that page, we'll keep you updated about important topics for retirees. You'll have the opportunity to add comments and participate in discussions related to posted topics. (You must be a member of Facebook in order to do this.
